Aides

Ford
would
not
set
out
a
specific
anti
:
inflation
program
in
tonight's
address,
though
detailed
proposals
will
follow
soon.
His
address
was
expected
to
stress
the
need
for
national
conciliation
and
would
outline
the
"spirit
and

Chicago,
Rockefeller
said
whether
he
would
accept
the
vice
presidency
if
it
is
offered
to
him
is
an
"iffy
question."
He
refused
to
comment
on
his
chances
for
selection,
telling
reporters,
"The
President
has
to
make
his
own
decision
without
any

Ford
won't
disclose
the
name
of
his
choice
for

president
in

address.
The
search
for

With

plunged

the
